Bian Lingcheng wanted to sell another big favor to Geshubu, and Ma Ling and Feng Changqing hoped that the Persians who set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty would be completely wiped out. The Anxi army marched slowly, stopping from time to time to rest, and even the scouts were only released for twenty miles, so as not to prevent the men and horses of the Goshu tribe from sacking the Persian camp.

For Ma Lu, the Persians who came over the mountains were not delicate and soft, and there was really nothing to plunder. The sheep and horses that were stolen were a lot of wealth, but they all belonged to the Wuqijin tribe, and the Wuqijin tribe was a people under the rule of Anxi, and those sheep and horses could only be returned to them, not taken away. That being the case, simply let the Geshu tribe grab a good time.

The thing that stains the blood of women and children is a crime after all, and since it must be done, let it be done by the Turks of the Geshu tribe.

When the Persian prince Mu Kun saw the army walking and stopping, he didn't understand why. His face was even paler, and he sat on a camel with his head bowed and did not say a word.

After more than a year of hard work, everything has now come to naught. For today's plan, the only way to save his life is to go to Chang'an first, and go to Tian Khan to ask for a reward before making plans.

After noon, the army finally reached the Persian camp.

Below the hillside, there was not a single living person left in the huge camp, mutilated corpses everywhere, and the grass was completely red with blood. Black smoke rose from the felt tents, and severed limbs and stumps were scattered everywhere.

Apparently the Goshu tribe had completed the sacking of the Persians, and should now be on their way home.

Ma Lan stood on the hillside, looking at the mess of the camp below. The corpses looked numerous, but most of them were old Persians, without women or children. And the more than 2,000 corpses are also a huge gap from the more than 10,000 people Mu Kun said.

He immediately understood what was going on, and although Goshube was angry, he did not exterminate the Persians, but only those who were useless. The rest of the people, the women and the children, were all taken away by them.

Ma Lan was extremely disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect the Geshu tribe to behave like this, which was not what he wanted to see. knew that this was the case, and it was time for Yang to explain a few more words to Ge Shubu.

Feng Changqing's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "Renjie, this is what can be imagined." For steppe barbarians such as the Turks, women and children were the greatest treasures. They don't care what their bloodline, as long as they can grab their own tribe, they are people of their own tribe. Women can have more children, children can grow into warriors, and all the steppe barbarians have grown up in this way, and it is only natural that the Goshu tribe should do this. ”

Ma Lan smiled bitterly and nodded, this is the rule of the grassland people. Kill all the enemy's warriors, hug the enemy's wives and daughters, and take in the enemy's children. Although Goshubu has not experienced war for decades, he still remembers this. Nearly 10,000 Persian women and children entered the Goshu tribe, and the Goshu tribe would undoubtedly become even stronger.

As for what effect this has on the bloodline of the tribe, no one cares. The Turkic people were originally transmuted from the large and small barbarian tribes on the steppe, and their bloodlines were originally extremely complicated, and they did not have much concept of blood.

Mu Kun looked at this scene, and his face became a little better. After all, nearly 10,000 tribesmen survived, even though they were about to integrate into the Turkic tribes.

Compared with the dream of recovering the country, he cares more about the life and death of these people. Because he was a royal family of the Sassanid Empire, all the Persians were his people, whether or not they still believed in the god of light. To be able to save the lives of these people, his hard work in the past year is not worthless.

……

The Geshu tribe took everything in the camp with them, and not a single horse or sheep was left to the other tribes. Looking at the footprints they left, it was obvious that they were not going to return to Shule, but to the northwest, obviously going directly back to the grassland at the foot of the Green Mountains.

More than 2,000 warriors drove a large number of horses and sheep, and had to control the Persian women and children, and the march must have been extremely slow. If you want to catch up, it can be said that it is easy. But everyone is here to give favors, where will they pay attention to these.

The first expedition of the new army of Anxi ended without a disturbance.

It can be said that this battle is too simple to win, and the tactics originally practiced together have no chance to be used at all, all of them are killed with hard crossbows, and the short spears on the backs of the soldiers are not even thrown.

Ma Ling had a slight regret in his heart, but there was nothing about it. There are more and more Han people in Anxi, but the number is far inferior to Zhuhu after all, and the life of every Han family son is precious to him.

When the army returned to Shule, they encountered a large number of Turks on the way. After asking, it turned out that these were all people from the Geshu tribe.

They were summoned by the patriarch and were about to return to the pastures of the grasslands at the foot of the Green Mountains. Many of the Turks of the Goshu tribe knelt down directly towards the army and thanked the Anxi army for their kindness.

Outside the city of Shule, the other herdsmen of the Wuqijin tribe were waiting. They also vaguely knew the news of the destruction of the black-clothed thieves from the shepherd of Geshubu, who left first, but they couldn't believe it, so they didn't dare to go too far from the city. It wasn't until they saw the return of the army with their own eyes and came up to inquire that the herdsmen burst into loud cheers and galloped back and forth around the army on their horses.

These men on horseback are all strong and skillful with bows and horses, but they do not have the courage to fight against strong enemies. Ma Lan was also a little speechless about these guys, but he understood that the grassland barbarians and the Han people were too close, and they would eventually become like this.

Amid the cheers, the shepherds dismantled their tents and drove the sheep and horses out of Shule City, and the team set out on the way back to their homeland. As long as the Tang Dynasty is still there and the Anxi Army is still there, they will be able to live in peace and stability, and live as peacefully as the Han people, until they are completely integrated into the Han nation.

Although we have defeated a strong enemy, there is still a lot to do. From Shule to Bedieli Fengsui, the Fengsui horse shops along the way were destroyed by black-clothed soldiers, so they naturally needed to be refurbished and deployed. Bai Xiaode is responsible for these things, and there is no need for Ma Lan to interfere.

Upon hearing the news of the return of the army in victory, the city of Shule was full of jubilation. The Han people who came to the city to escape the war chanted the name of General Ma Lan, drank the wine in the wine shop in Shule Town, and then returned to the military granges in various places in groups.

The army settled down in the town of Shule and rested well. Rushing all the way from Anxi, the marching speed of more than 200 miles a day, although they were the strongest soldiers, they also felt extremely tired. Now that there is no war, it is natural to have a good rest.

Three days later, Ma Ling left the barracks and took Gao Qianqian to the most famous women's store in Shule City.

The Hu Nu's Hu Whirling Dance is the most famous here, and the wine is also the best. Of course, the girl's appearance is also first-class. This is the largest gold cave in Shule City, and most of the people who come and go here are wealthy Hu merchants.

For the place chosen by Geshu Chongyuan to meet, Ma Lan was extremely satisfied. Because of such a place, Bian Lingcheng would never follow.

……

Gao Qianqian sat beside Ma Lan, looking at the luxurious arrangements around her, looking extremely curious. But when the two Persian maidens, who had nothing under the light veil, came out, twisted their waists and began to dance, her face changed after all.

Especially when she saw Ma Xuan's eyes staring at the two Persian girls for a moment, Gao Qianqian's face was even more unsightly, and she also regretted why she had to follow.

After Geshu Chongyuan finished saluting Ma Lan, he took out a box from his arms and respectfully handed it to Ma Lan.

Ma Lan opened it and saw that there were several pieces of jade in the box, which looked very good. Being able to make Geshu Chongyuan as a gift must be worth a lot of money, and it should be produced in Khotan. Judging from the color, it should be an antiquity, and as for the rest, Ma Lan can't see it at all.

Gao Qianqian took it, played with it in her hand one by one, and said, "These things are worth at least 200,000 yuan." You're pretty rich, old man. ”

Brother Shu Chongyuan smiled: "The eldest lady has a good eye." 200,000 yuan is considered to be the capital of my brother's Shu tribe's labor army, and I hope the general will laugh at it. ”

Ma Lan waved his hand and smiled: "The patriarch is too polite. Cutting off the evil and eliminating the evil and protecting the people of Anxi is the general's business. Geshu is also the people of Anxi, it is my responsibility to protect you, how can I take your things. ”

Geshu Chongyuan said with a smile: "A little respect, the general must accept it." Although the old man is old, he is not confused, if it weren't for the general taking care of my Geshu tribe, how could we recapture so many sheep and horses. What's more, there are so many women and children, and my brother Shubu Dingkou has increased by nearly 10,000 at once, all thanks to the general. How can my brother Shubu not repay such a generous kindness? This little bit of heart is nothing, as long as the adults call in the future, my brother Shu will never give up! ”

"So you're welcome." Ma Ling smiled and nodded, letting Gao Qianqian put it away.

He was a polite remark, and since Geshu Chongyuan took it out, it was impossible to take it back even if he wanted to. 200,000 yuan is enough to pay for this reward, and there are still 100,000 yuan left.

As for the loyalty shown by Geshu Chongyuan, he didn't value it much. It's not that he doesn't believe Geshu Chongyuan's words, but Geshubu's performance today has made him see their combat power clearly.

"Your Excellency, rest assured. In fact, what my brother Shubu got from the adults this time is far more than the value of 200,000 yuan. ”

Geshu Chongyuan pointed to the two Persian girls who were writhing like snakes, and said with a smile, "This women's shop is actually the property of my Geshu tribe. These two girls were brought by me yesterday, and each of them has already received 1,000 yuan. Such a Persian girl, the old man selected dozens of them to bring over, and just this first night's night money can earn tens of thousands of dollars! After a long stream, the income is also extremely fast. ”

The corners of Ma Lu's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the two Persian girls, there was a faint look of fear on their little faces, and they were really a little stumbling between their actions, obviously they were new to experience.

He really didn't know that the Geshu tribe actually had such a business in secret. The Persian women and children had been taken away only three days earlier, and three days later they had been brought to the women's shop to earn money.

Gao Qianqian took a sip, glared at Ge Shu Chongyuan and said, "Old man, these girls should all belong to my family." Even if you make money with them, you should share a few percent of my family, do you say? ”
